Universal Pictures’ “Get Out,” a new horror-thriller
about race relations, rode critical raves to a smashing box office
debut at No.1 for the February 24 – 27 weekend, according to Variety.

The low-budget film was the weekend’s top-grossing domestic release,
earning $30.5 million, and propelling its director and writer Jordan Peele
atop Hollywood’s A-list. The film, which centers on a black man who
discovers that his girlfriend’s liberal, lily-white hometown is guarding
a sinister secret.

“Get Out” also extends Blumhouse Productions’ hot hand. The film company scored earlier this year with Split,
a thriller about a man with a personality disorder that racked up
$130.8 million stateside on a $9 million budget. Universal distributed,
marketed, and partnered on both movies.

“It’s entertaining, it’s thought-provoking, and it’s subversive,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s domestic distribution chief. “I have seen [‘Get Out’] play with audiences. They enjoy themselves and they’re telling their friends.”

Box office sages argue that Blumhouse is becoming synonymous with the
horror genre in a way that is resonating with consumers. Its lineup of
hits includes Sinister, Insidious, and Paranormal Activity.
They also praise the company’s fiscal conservatism (most of its movies
carry budgets that are less than $10 million), and its emphasis on
storytelling.

“The best special effect is a great script,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with comScore. “It proves a great movie and a well executed story doesn’t have to cost a ton of money.”In Universal Pictures’ “Get Out”, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele,
when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family
estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the
invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).

At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as
nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship,
but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing
discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out is
written and directed by Peele (Key and Peele) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, as well as Sean McKittrick (Donnie Darko, Bad Words), Edward H. Hamm Jr. (Bad Words) and Peele.
